Install Large-Area Pop-Up
Irrigation :

Incorrect location :

1 :

●

No obstacles (e.g. walls, trees, etc.) should be located in the
watering sector. It must be possible to access every contour
point of the areas to be watered in a straight line. With the
maximum range the spray height can reach approx. 5 m.

2 :

●

The minimum range is 2.5 m (at 2 bar). With circle water
distribution the large-area pop-up irrigation must therefore be
located 2.5 m from the edge in all directions (A). If this is not
possible the large-area pop-up irrigation should be positioned
at the edge and the watering area will be a circle sector (B).

Before installing the large-area pop-up irrigation, you must
set up an above-ground test to check whether the large-
area pop-up irrigation can actually water the required area
at this location.

The large-area pop-up irrigation has a 3 /4

” female thread and is

connected to the 25 mm Connecting Pipe

Art. 2700 / 2701

using the GARDENA L-piece

Art. 2781.

1. Install the above-ground test set-up and check whether the

large-area pop-up irrigation can water the required area (see
5. Operation).

2. If the large-area pop-up irrigation has watered the required area

in the test, install a pack of coarse gravel

approx. 20 cm x 20

cm x 20 cm in size underneath the unit.
This ensures proper functioning of the drain valve.

3. Install the upper edge of the large-area pop-up irrigation level

with the turf.

This prevents any damage when mowing the lawn.

v Take off transportation protective plastic film from the protective

panel of of the solar cell.

5. Operation

A watering sector from 25° to 360° can be selected. To prevent
areas being watered unintentionally (e.g. house), the sector
should first be selected roughly (slightly too small).

Roughly select sector :

1. Close water supply.

2. Turn the nozzle head

by hand to the middle of the watering

sector (e.g. P4).

3. Roughly select watering sector: turn right sector stop

right-hand side (e.g. P9) and left sector stop

to left-hand side

(e.g. P2).

Re-adjust sector :

1. Open water supply.

2. Watch watering sector and re-adjust the sector-stops

and

according to the sector limits (P1 and P10) until the change in
direction matches the required irrigation limits.
If watering in a complete circle, the two sector stops

and

must be completely pushed together between P1 and P10.
